LOL !

[xtc]

Not surprised =)

[Chris Rogers]

would be surprised also if the trip computer worked properly as well. most of the clocked ones destroy that part of the cluster and the TC does not work.

as an aside - the cruise control I sell wont work either.

[BLISTC]

f**kwits. i hate these stealerships - and yes doesnt suprise me either, they always come across as dodgey.

i posted this on another forum. time to get the word out a bit.

Sorry if I'm asking a silly question but apart from the two cars looking the same, is there any proof they are the exact same car?

I know heaps of imports are wound back and it's rife but just wondering.

It has the exact same "custom body mods" and i bet all the cars at "**********" have had there clocks wound back.

Yeah i remeber this posted before.

Although the armrest looks different (Japanese car seems to have some sort of stripes running across it), the aftermarket head unit looks the same. The video looks a bit grainy to be certain though.

Same Infiniti grill and boot badges

Same car stereo

Same 3 decals on the side

Same tinted side indicators

Same red paint on top of the grill.....

but as for vin no. and stuff?? probably changed for a rebirth...?? who knows...

what a joke of a dealer....

[g33k]

********** notorious for this.

Even mine, found out it was adjusted around 20-30K - timing belt had been changed, but was not due to be changed until 50K

In saying that, if you're buying a Jap import, chances are its been wound back.

Sad, but true.

Guys, Happy for the discussion to continue, and happy for people to draw their own conclusions, however please refrain from posting business names.

[andy65b]

[Angus Smart]

[rorii]

Not defending the stealership bUT If you look closer at the centre console and tops of the door cards the colour schemes are quite different. Not to say the dealer didn't change these but then why would he?

Does look to have had a knock on the left rear quarter, paint matching seems a bit off unless it's the poor quality video.

Mate you must be rain man or something lol how in the hell did you pick this up?! Kudos though, i never had good vibes regarding dealerships.

[ja5on350]

The only thing I can't confirm is that the custom door trim is not on that car in Australia..

I recognised the voice in the video, Go to this link and you get to see the man behind the camera in the Jap-video http://www.youtube.com/user/mightycarmods#p/u/7/63Y97oLjiuA

Fast-forward to 9:11, This should pretty much confirm our suspicions.

My conclusion is that he would try to find an international buyer over there first, and if he cant get enough money for it he sends it over here to be sold before winding it back. Good work on the find!

I've always had 2 suspicions when it comes to winding kms'....

1. Do the locals deactivate their clocks when it gets to a certain point, and then reactivate it whenever they try to sell it...

2. or Do they just as easily hook it up to PC and minus the kms..

This probably confirms the latter..

Best advice a friend ever gave me, no matter how much you like it, get it inspected by Stateroads.com.au best $200bucks you'll ever spend.

Cheers!
